Current Alpha 100 and Astro 430 / 900 handheld users will require a software update to connect to the Garmin Instinct Tactical Watch. Click here to learn how to update your Alpha software or Astro software for free.

We recommend updating the software on your Instinct Tactical watch prior to use by downloading and installing Garmin Express.

The rugged Garmin Instinct Tactical GPS Watch is built to U.S. military 810G thermal, shock and water resistance standards (rated to 100 meters). It has a chemically-strengthened, scratch-resistant high-contrast display that works well in bright light and a fiber-reinforced polymer case for strength and durability. Fully vented silicone bands include two independent, removable keeper loops for a secure fit.

Tactical Functionality

Enable Stealth Mode to cease storage and transmission of your GPS location and disable all wireless connections and communication. Show projected waypoints and use the dual grid format to access multiple types of coordinate data including MGRS and latitude/longitude.

Monitor and Train

The Instinct GPS watch monitors your activity, heart rate, and overall stress during the day to keep you aware of what you do. Use the preloaded activity profiles to maximize your active lifestyle when you are running, biking, swimming and more.

Stay Connected

Smart notifications lets you receive emails, texts and alerts right on your watch, even if you're on the trail. Instinct receives the wireless signal from a compatible iPhone 4s (or newer) or Android smartphone and lets you know when you have a message, displaying the text on its screen whenever you're ready to read it.
